I want to learn guitar

I mean come on how hard can it be :eek:

It's the latest hair brain scheme in the 'life of tinks' :D

What do I need to know?

BTW I'm serious ;)

You need to know what type of guitar (electric, acoustic, folk etc) you want to learn and you need to have short fingernails and tough fingers.

Cheers willow I thought the first reply would be the 'lets get tinks brigade'

Definitely acoustic. I've never learnt to read music though, is that bad or does it come naturally hearing the notes on a guitar?

Re: I want to learn guitar

You also need to know what type of music you want to produce. Do you want the play chords to sing along to or do you want to play recognisable tunes?

Recognisable tunes. It's something I've always wanted to do as a private hobby, no big music aspirations, I would just like to play a recognisable tune on a guitar :)

OK, well the first fun part is you have to be able to tune the thing but after that it's not too hard - being able to read music does help though.

If you pop into Music Box see if they have a 'Tune A Day' book 1 for classical guitar - it starts with the very basics.

:eek: TUNE IT!!! Does it not come already tuned from the shop?

Trust me to want to start something from scratch :o I really don't know the first thing about it but it looks like fun

I've never, ever been taught music, can I teach myself?

Re: I want to learn guitar

yeah you can teach your self tinks my eldest lad has just taught himself and cant read music at all...its all done by ear, know the tune in your head and concentrate on that tune you will get used to the notes and soon get the feel for the guitar... im not saying you,ll become pro but you,ll have great fun learning once you get your first tune out ...good luck hun and enjoy...

Re: I want to learn guitar

It's surprising what you can learn by ear Cherokee!!

When i was younger I got a keyboard.... could never ever read music, but I could always belt out the same tune as a song.
